Five Year Plan

I was tired. Tired of running, tired of doing things I never wanted to do, tired of been in the herd, tired of losing my identity, tired of trying to live in the future instead of the present. So on my 23rd birthday I finally decided to break free. It’s a risk, but I guess risk worth taking. In my lifetime I have realized that failures don’t last forever and success is not going be there tomorrow.

So now my future looks very blank in front of my eyes. For the first time I am not walking a predictable path walked by others. I am on my own. Yes, it is giving me sleepless nights but I am sure this will pass to. So now when somebody ask me what my plans are I have no clue. But that would make me look very stupid and been a true Virgo – the best planners with an eye for detail; I have come with a Five Year Plan of my own.(People who have no idea what’s a five year plan please go and read your 10th std economics text book).

Five year Plan

1. Before my 24th birthday I want to visit Leh and Ladakh and capture its beautiful landscape. A gentle reminder to you Dee about my new DSLR.
2. Write a book, not a complete novel but a collection of short stories or my memoirs or some complete random stuff about anything. Though I haven’t set any time frame; finishing one book by 25th birthday would be great.(Dedicated to K.S. These time more than nine chapters I promise)
   
3. Waving India’s tricolour as F1 cars zoom past me. Nothing could be more adrenaline pumping then to see a Ferrari on a race track taking the chequered flag.
4. Watching the Red devils play in Old Trafford. The best part if I can watch the game on my birthday and Rooney scores…
5. Learning how to play drums. And bang bang wake all my neighbours’ up. Ha-ha. Now that I know Air Rifle shooting, taking it seriously to participate in some local tournaments.

I will be 28th in five years. (Jeez I know maths!!!) Why worry today what I will be doing.
